The Bunch of Grapes, London Bridge
We used to love this place when it was non smoking before the ban, and you could always find a table upstairs. Now its a tad rammed and there is nowhere to stand really, unless you want to be stuck outside with the smokers.
Best thing are the plastic cows with your number on when you order, have to admit I stole one once, then posted it back!
Its great if you can book the big back table upstairs in advance. Really friendly and safe place, esp for in this area.

This has gone downhill. They do not seem to able to cope at all at the weekends, too many underexperienced staff. Waited an hour for my food, my chips were cold, sent it back for some hot ones and never received anything back, was very hungry and a bit bored of it by that point. Have visited the other pubs in this chain throughout the south east and they are all better than this one. Seems to rely entirely on its previous reputation and position for custom. Dont bother for a quiet pleasant drink, will have to wait for ages behind people wanting dessert for their many children, 8 diet cokes and a tonic water. Slowly.

Looks like a bit of a dodgy hotel bar. If your not mates with the bar staff could take some time to get served on a weekend. looking a bit tatty now. Food and service during the day is fine, although pretty standard cheap food as you would expect for the price your paying.
I try to avoid if possible!

The Frogshole Farm, Maidenbower
Due to be opened again in June, yes was quite chavvy, but we all need to fight back and make it into our local again!
